Written by three of the world's leading authorities on the case, this book takes a completely objective look at theories old and new, describes all the key Ripper books, and gives brief biographies of many of the authors. It includes an entry for almost every person involved in the case, from suspects and witnesses to policemen and journalists, plus the ordinary people who became caught up in the unfolding drama. Whether one is new to the mystery of Jack the Ripper or an experienced Ripperologist, this compendium will keep your turning the pages. As for the more prominent players caught up in the drama of the Whitechapel murders, the research into the lives of the victims has been extraordinary and has unearthed, for example, a photograph of Annie Chapman thought to be the only surviving nonmortuary photograph of a Ripper victim. Also included are photographs of Michael Ostrog and the mad butcher Joseph Isenschmidt, and several new photographs of policemen.

TERRY A DELBENE author of 'Dem Bon'z

U is for Useful

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2015

It is truly wonderful to have a guide for answering question about the ripper murders. I used this book extensively in writing 'Dem Bon'z a novel about a serial killer in North Dakota with links to Jack the Ripper. There are a lot of ripper books out there but this one should be a welcome addition to the library of any mystery/crime enthusiast.

excellent for beginners

This is an excellent starting point for the new "RIPPEROLOGIST".Unfortunately I have been one for years and I'm familiar with most of the material.The book is basically an overview and does not go into depth on all the topics from"a-z".Still as I said it's a great primer.Mostly I just want to say that Iam convinced that the Ripper was plain JOE BARNETT from the local fish market and boyfriend of Mary Kelly, the final victim. thanks dennis collins

Criminal insight into the infamous murderer

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2011

Verified Purchase

I must admit that this book was more than I expected. It is a detailed investigation into the crime, the mind of the fiendish killer, an examination of society, and an introduction into criminology. The writers took the time to be detailed and used a flowing style to convey their findings. Overall, this is a fine piece of writing.

Excellent Reference Book

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

I'm not an expert by any means on the subject of Jack the Ripper, but I have a lifelong interest about life and crime in Victorian London. The authors have updated the book judiciously (I have an old paperback edition) and there are some interesting additions. It's a valuable research tool for those new to "Ripperology" and for old hands alike.

I am still reading through this book but it gives an excellent account of the murders and everyone involved or believed to be involved in them. I recommend this book highly to those interested in starting their own research into Jack the Ripper or even if you just want a good book to read.

total cheapness

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2012

Verified Purchase

Waited for years for this in hardcopy at a reasonable price. Bought it, and the book quality stinks. NO EXCUSE. Yes a review should also consider what it is printed on. The cheapest quality of paper, and light printing. The authors are the best in the field, and have a lot of great information, but someone tried to cut too many corners and came out with one cheap quality of a book.
